Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure parameters of hole transport materials by introducing specific molecular formulas (Formula 1) with controlled substituents (R1-R8, n1-n4) to achieve both high stability and optimized charge transport properties, resolving the contradiction between material complexity and performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs composite material design by combining multiple functional groups within the amine compound structure (Formula 1) to create a material that simultaneously provides hole transport, stability, and efficiency, rather than using simple single-function materials

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional hole transport materials are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the charge transport properties and stability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically varies chemical parameters (substituent types, positions, and configurations in Formula 1) to optimize both stability and charge transport properties, allowing manufacturers to select from a series of related compounds with adjusted properties rather than developing entirely new materials

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If materials with aromatic fused rings containing sp3 carbon are used, then the charge transport may be enhanced, but the service life deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the problematic aromatic fused ring structure containing sp3 carbon from the material design, instead utilizing the Formula 1 amine compound structure that achieves charge transport efficiency without the harmful structural motif, thereby extending service life

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention converts the potential harm of using complex aromatic fused ring structures into a benefit by adopting a different molecular architecture (Formula 1) that inherently avoids the degradation pathways associated with sp3 carbon in aromatic fused rings, while maintaining effective charge transport

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
